Jamsil Arena
Capacity: 15,000
Seoul, South Korea
Kohl: Welcome Ladies and Gentlemen to GCW Vindication where we are LIVE in Seoul, South Korea! I’m Terry Kohl and beside me is my partner, Beast. How have you found Korea so far Beast?
Beast: I’m loving it! It’s such a great opportunity to go to the place ruled by the coolest man alive, Kim Jong Un!
Kohl looks at Beast wide eyed
Kohl: Beast, that’s North Korea. We’re in South Korea.
Beast: Oh…
The pair go silent for an awkward amount of time.
Beast: H-hey. Something’s coming onto the titantron!
”Cade, Cade, Cade.” Daniel’s voice echoes around the arena, though no sign of the man is found. ”Where’s your partner, Cade? No, no. I don’t need The Answer.” Suddenly, the titantron changes to a video feed of Daniel, a small smile on his face, proud of his little joke. ”You know, Cade, I’ve been thinking. I’ve been thinking a lot about you. I’ve been thinking ‘How do I get revenge on that son of a bitch?’ Thinking about that has kept me up most nights.” he shrugs slightly, as if it is of no importance, before frowning at the camera. ”At first, I wanted to break you. Do to you what you did to El Masko. At first, I wanted to make it so that you could never fight again, but that wouldn’t be right. See, two wrongs don’t make a right. If I snapped you in two like a twig, well, I wouldn’t be any better than you, now would I?” Daniel tilts his head, as if wondering about the issue.
”No, retiring you like you retired Masko wouldn’t do at all. I had to find another way. Let me tell you something, Cade: I found it.” Another smile creeps up on Daniel’s face, though much less jovial than the one earlier. ”In just a few short weeks, I will get my revenge. Beast of the East. Kaiju. It’s at that pay-per-view that we will settle this once and for all. See, I worked a little something out with the boys upstairs, unsavory folk as they can be.” A brief grimace crosses Daniel’s face. ”I got a little match set up. You and me, Cade. one on one, mano e mano, with the stipulation that the loser leaves GCW. See? Told ya I found another way. Oh, and don’t worry about the details, pal. All that’s needed from you is to pack your bags, and show up to the match.” There is a sound of a door opening, and Daniel puts two fingers to his head as a quick farewell salute before the feed cuts.
Kohl: Well that’s certainly one way to send a message to someone. Daniel has thrown down the gauntlet and we must now await Simon’s response.
Beast: Well we won’t have to wait long Kohl, because he’s in our first match of the night.
Kohl: He sure is partner but he’s going to have some tough competition as he is up against the hometown hero: Andrew Jordan. I must say, the crowd are really excited to see the international champion as well as his new partner Kenji.
Beast: Of course they are Kohl. Kenji and Andrew are GCW’s resident Asians and we are on the Asian tour. It’s not that hard to understand.
Kohl: We need to have a serious discussion in the commercial.
Andrew Jordan vs. Simon Cade
The match was a hard hitting affair. Many stiff punches and kick were done between the two. Near the end of the match, Andrew threw Simon out of the ring, put him on the barricade and attempted a spinebuster, but Simon turned it into an Impaler DDT, followed by hitting the Impact Theory on him onto the barricade. Simon threw him back in and went for the Morality Check. However, Andrew kicked him hard in the leg and followed it up with the Dragon Combo and the Korean Bomb, and pinned him to win.
Kohl: A well fought match by both men but in the end, the hometown advantage paid dividends as Andrew picks up the win.
Beast: Man, these two guys are going to be hard to beat when they set their sights on the tag titles.
Kohl: And who would have thought, two men who were just recently beating the hell out of each other, have now formed a formidable alliance.
Beast: A kind of, Oriental Alliance you might say?
Kohl: Oh, that’s good. Anyway the next match we have for you i-
The arena goes dark. The titantron lights up, and we see the inside of what looks to be a dimly lit bunker. A single light emanates from a podium near the wall. The camera cuts and we get a close up of the podium. It has a button on top, that reads "U.L.B.".
BLACKOUT
Beast: Well that was...unexpected.
Kohl: Indeed...A-anyway, here’s Darius Seeiso vs The Answer.
Darius Seeiso vs. The Answer
Fink: The following contest is scheduled for one fall!
The Answer runs in with his arms out. He walks down the ramp pointing to himself.
Kohl: The Answer has gotta be happy with those new championships!
Beast: Who wouldn't be?!
When he gets in the ring he runs onto the second turnbuckle and raises his arms out again.
As verse starts, and guitar comes in, deep red ambient light. Darius rises out of the stage, as the vocals begin. He looks up as the spotlights hit him. Darius saunters down to the ring, looking generally unimpressed. As Darius enters the ring, he shakes his head. He stands in the middle, and snarls at the crowd. Darius raises his fist, and nods his head. He then moves slowly over to the corner, and kneels, awaiting the bell.
The bell rings, and Darius stands.
Kohl: Here we go!
Darius stares Answer down as the crowd begins to cheer. Answer raises his arms, soaking in the adoration from the crowd.
Kohl: Darius versus United States & Tag Team Champion, The Answer...
Beast: The Answer is a dual champion, and Darius has lost more matches last month than he's won...
Kohl: The crowd is cheering for The Answer.
Beast slams his fist on the table.
Beast: WHAT KIND OF BACKWARDS UNIVERSE IS THIS?!
Answer confidently struts up to Darius--
Who subsequently drops Answer with a thunderous chop.
Beast: Some things never change.
The Answer smacks the mat, and rolls back up to his feet, before hitting Darius with a stiff punch. Darius recoils, and comes back with a hard overhand slap.
Kohl: This is going horribly wrong...
Answer dives at Darius with a flying headbutt of sorts, cracking his head off Darius' chest.
Beast: This is going perfectly Kohl!
Darius bounces his back off the ropes. He goes for a clothesline. Answer ducks, and slams Darius to the mat with a back suplex. Answer springs to his feet, and begins soaking in admiration.
Beast: See! This is entertaining at hell!
Answer turns to Darius, and goes to pick him up. Darius pops out of Answer's grip, and rocks him with a Royal Fury.
Kohl: Royal Fury!
Beast: No running start though!
Answer drops flat on his back, rolling out of the ring before Darius could catch him. Darius sighs.
Kohl: The Answer with the instinct to roll out of the ring here.
Beast: Maybe there is a brain in that head... if there is, it just got scrambled.
Darius rolls out of the ring, and hauls the Answer onto the apron, before shoving him into the ring. He slides over Answer for the pin.
1!
2--Kickout!
Kohl: Barely a 2 count, The Answer is still fighting!
Darius looks up to the ref and shakes his head, as Answer rolls out of the ring once more. Darius rolls out after the Answer.
Kohl: Darius looking-- wait, what're they doing here?!
John Styles and Kidd West make their way down the entrance ramp, cheering and applauding Darius.
Beast: They're not looking to interfere! They're just cheering on their partner, obviously!
Darius looks up, and begins yelling at Kidd.
DS: Why is he here?!
Kidd gestures to John
KW: Don't worry about him, we got you! Get him!
Darius shakes his head, and drags the Answer to his feet. Answer instinctively rams his shoulder into Darius' gut, spearing him into the ring apron. Darius goes for a punch, but the Answer ducks it, and picks Darius up for a back suplex, before slamming him back first onto the apron.
Beast: Holy--
Kohl: An amazing counter from The Answer! Darius' back just snapped off the apron!
Answer rolls into the ring as the refs count hits 5.
Kohl: Darius might be counted out here!
Beast: Don't be stupid...
John goes to help Darius up, but Darius pushes him off. He stands up and points to John.
DS: I don't need your help. I never will.
Darius slides into the ring, and as he makes it to his feet, Answer puts him down with a brogue kick.
Kohl: A sort of pump kick from The Answer!
Answer drops down for the pin--
1!
2!
Kickout!
Darius shakes off the cobwebs, rolling to the corner.
Beast: Get up Darius, you're facing THE ANSWER! For gods sake!
Kohl: The Answer is showing vast improvement since his initial run here in GCW, don't count him out Beast!
Darius rises to his feet in the corner, only to be caught with a helluva kick from Answer.
Kohl: Helluva Kick!
Beast: What the actual fu--
Kohl: Darius is down, Answer scaling the ropes!
Answer looks down to Kidd West and John. West is protesting, but John is smirking. He points down to them, before flipping off the top rope, and hitting Darius with the Graceful Calamity.
Kohl: Graceful Calamity! Pin!
1!
2!
3!
Kohl: The Answer wins!
Answer rises to his feet, and thrusts his fists into the air. He rolls out of the ring as John and Kidd slide in. Answer flees into the crowd, celebrating with the fans.
Chiyoko Uzuki vs. Rebecca Strummer
Chiyoko enters the ring clutching a microphone, her normally energetic demeanor absent. "Before my match tonight, I'd like to say a few words..." She begins, her face uncharacteristically grim. "Last week, Camber kidnapped my manager, Mr. Bill Pryce... And I..." She glances around, frowning. "...I don't know what she did to him for that whole week, but he came back." A pause. "He came back burnt and battered, and... and... with a contract he was forced to sign." Her brow furrows. "A contract for a match... between himself and Camber. And that's just... just...!"
She snaps back to the hard cam with a surprising scowl. "Just who do you think you are, Camber?!" She practically hisses. "He's not the competitor, here! I am!" She turns away again, disgusted. "But you left a clause in that contract..." She muses out loud, pacing the ring. "One that allows me to join that match... at the cost of you putting a stipulation on it." She pauses, looking back up. "Is... Is that what you want? You can't defeat me one on one, so you try to distract me by dragging in a bystander?" Her face wrinkles in disdain. "No, not just any bystander! My manager, my agent, my friend!" She grits her teeth. "And you used him... To get a match that you want? On your terms? And you think you can just get away with it?!"
She pauses.
"...Well, you can't."
She looks down, her frown deepening. "I'm not going to let you hurt Pryce again. And that's why..." She looks back up, her eyes brimming with determination. "That's why I'm putting myself in that match against you, Camber!" She raises an arm, jabbing a finger at the camera. "So go ahead! Pick your stipulation! I'll rise to any challenge you throw my way!" Now overflowing with righteous fervor, Chiyoko lobs the mic out of the ring and storms over to one of the ring corners, awaiting her opponent.
*Nobody expected this kind of match. Rebecca had that look in her eye, the look of “i’m going to fucking kill you.” And she wasn’t wrong as she continuously beat down the champion with her brawling techniques before throwing her around the ring like a rag doll. Headbutts, heel kicks, punches, everything was used to keep Rebecca on top. Chiyoko could only get in minimal offense as she found Rebecca to be a tough opponent. It seemed like the end for Chiyoko as Rebecca locked in the Riot Starter. She wrenched on the legs of Chiyoko, bending her back in ways no one knew were possible. But something clicked in Chiyoko. It may have been fans cheering her on. it may have been her second wind. But something changed in Chiyoko as she powered her way to the ropes for the rope break. Frustrated, Rebecca went to lock it in a second time, only for it to be countered by Chiyoko. Chiyoko used her last pieces of energy to stage a comeback on Rebecca where she connected with the Cupid’s Arrow to secure the victory*
Kohl: What a fantastic display of determination as Chiyoko picks her chance and steals the victory from a frustrated Rebecca.
Beast: But Kohl, this show of dominance must worry Chiyoko. She must know that Rebecca is going to get a shot at that title eventually and she might not be so lucky next time.
Kohl: Well that’s the future partner. But let’s look at the here and now, and right now, we have a colossal encounter between the nightmare Owen Hawes and Andreas Landa.
Beast: WHAT? And we’re giving this away on free TV? This should be a pay per view match without a doubt.
Owen Hawes vs. Andreas Landa
*By far the match of the night, the Nightmare took on the rising star Andreas in what was a thrilling contest. Owen found it difficult to combat against the sheer power of Andreas who took the early advantage. Owen never seemed in too much trouble however as his great experience served him very well in finding places to counter. The neck and neck bout continued for a bit longer before Andreas finally found the opening he was after as he seamlessly moved from dodging a Lucid dream and connecting the hunter for the three count. Post match, the pair shook hands in a show of respect as the crowd applauded the performance of the two men.*
Kohl: What an absolutely fantastic match we’ve just witnessed. Both men deserved the victory but in the end, Andreas uses his power to pick up the victory.
Beast: This Andreas guy has a bright future man, i’m putting my money on it right here. I mean hell, he just beat the Nightmare!
Kohl: Only time will tell Beast but I think i’m with you on that. Right then, we have reached our main event: The newest member of the Conspiracy John Styles is going one on one against Shio Corin. This is definitely one for the classic GCW fans.
Beast: Hell yeah Kohl. These two haven’t met in so long. I can’t wait for this to-
Beast is cut out by the sound of Freak on a Leash by Korn as Mason James enters the arena with Jessica Allan by his side, guiding him over to the commentary table. He doesn’t sit down but instead stands by the table, staring at the ring.
Kohl: Oh, hi Mason. What a pleasant surprise to see you here. Why have you come out to watch this ma-
Mason: *turning to stare at Kohl* Shut your mouth before i shut it for you by throwing you into the crowd!
Mason moves forward towards Kohl but he is stopped by the arm of Jessica as it grabs his arm. He sighs before calming down and looking back to the ring.
Beast: Nevermind then. Let’s get on with the match shall we Kohl?
Kohl simply nods
Shio Corin vs. John Styles w/ Kidd West
*It had been months since Shio and John has faced each other one on one. But it is safe to say that their chemistry has not weakened. The technical ability of those two men was in full display in the opening portion of the match, with neither one gaining a significant advantage. It took a suicide Dive from John for him to take the early advantage but this was lost when Shio caught him with a belly to belly after a second attempt for a suicide dive. This left John open to the meticulous beatdown from Shio as he focused his strikes to the head, softening it up for Rapper’s delight. Occasionally, Shio would look up to Mason who stood by the commentary table with a stare that could pierce through anyone. There were times of Hope for John as he attempted many comebacks, only to be stopped each time by the Three time champ. However, John finally found his opportunity as he was able to avoid a spinebuster and begin his comeback with a series of high octane offense. The attack went to the outside, directly next to Mason. John saw his chance, and attempted a superkick, only for Shio to push Mason in front of him, sending the big man over the announcers table. John couldn’t react fast enough as Shio rushed back into the ring before John pursued him. SUddenly, Shio caught John with a rappers delight to score himself the victory.*
*As he began to celebrate, a small cry of “get him” was heard as Mason begins to climb into the ring. As shio turns around, he is met with a clothesline from Mason. The big man begins to attack Mason when suddenly, The Pines by Portugal, the Man begins to play as Jensen races down the ramp and into the ring. Mason could not react in time as Jensen began attacking Mason, giving Shio enough time to recuperate and join Jensen. Eventually Mason is forced out of the ring as he and Jessica retreat up the ramp. Jensen turns to Shio and checks on him. Eventually, he extends a hand of friendship to Shio who looks at it for a while. He finally extends his own hand as the two share a handshake accompanied by a loud cheer...before Shio pulls Jensen in for a rapper’s delight. The crowd go ballistic at Shio who simply shrugs it off before leaving the ring*
Kohl: After such a kind display of friendship by Jensen, it’s horrible to see Shio just detroy it so easily.
Beast: Well it serves Jensen right for helping out Shio. Shio had it covered anyway.
Kohl: Yeah, right. Anyway that brings us to the end of the show. I’ve been Kohl, he’s been Beast, and thank you for watching.
